Mixed Manufacturer Combination With a Cementless Hemispherical Dual Mobility Cup and Polished Taper-Slip Cemented Femoral Stem: Short- to Medium-Term Results in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in Elderly Patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: There is a lack of conclusive literature regarding the mixed-manufacturer combination of the Symbol cementless hemispherical dual mobility cup (Dedienne Santé) and the Exeter V40 cemented femoral stems (Stryker) in patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of this combination, with a particular attention to the occurrence of dislocation and periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs). Methods: Between 2021 and 2023, a consecutive series of 123 primary THAs were reviewed at the latest follow-up. The mean age at surgery was 75 ± 9 ys. Postoperative complications were recorded. The clinical outcome was assessed with the Harris Hip Score. Acetabular, femoral, and global hip offset were evaluated on standard radiographs. Results: < .0001.) No dislocation was reported. No Vancouver A or B PFF was observed. One Vancouver C PFF was observed. The revision-free survival rate at 24-month follow-up was 98.6%. The global offset of the hip was restored in all the patients with a mean average increase of 3 ± 5.8 mm. Conclusions: The mixed-manufacturer combination of the Symbol cementless hemispherical dual mobility cup and the Exeter cemented femoral stem resulted in excellent short- to medium-term outcomes in patients who underwent primary THA. This combination was effective in preventing both instability and femoral Vancouver B PFF in these patients at risk, while allowing global hip offset restoration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
